"A Mixed Up Divorce Case---COro-
ner Quinn After DIR. MarkOe.


ner Quinn After DIR. MarkOe.
Judge Kelly has a very perplexing
puzZe to solve in the Dyke divorce suit.
Pleadings were filed by Mr.. Goforth, at
tOrney for Mr.. Dyke, the plaintiff, a
couple of days ago. DykeuaccuseS his
wife of adultery with man named
Shea. The answer filed by E. III.
OZmun, consul for defendant, sets up
very unique defense. 1t is this: In
1888, Mrs. Dyke, whose maiden name is
Clara II. Barber, applied for a divorce
from her former husband, Henry E.
Richardson. on the ground of habitual
drunkenness. Judge Brill filed his
findings Of facts and conclusions of law
to the effect that Clara Richardson was
entitled to a divorce, Nov. % of that
year. Seven days after Mrs. Richard
son and Dyke were married. A day
after the marriage, tO-wit, the
divorce. Now Mrs. Dyke admits the
charge of adultery, but claims that the
marriage ceremony performed for her
and Dyke was illegal and void, because
the decree of divorce was not filed until
the following day. Also that the first
husband, under the law, had the right
OF appeal at any time within six months
after the divorce was granted. The
question is, does this invalidate the
Dyke marriage? The plaintiff demurs
to this answer, arguing that it does not
constitute defense. There is some
thing singular in the fact that the Dyke
marriage occurred so soon after the
filing of Judge Brill'S findings. Judge
Kelly says the infamy of the thing is
SO apparent in the fact that the parties
could not wait more then a week for
their marriage after the Richardson
divorce, could not wait even for the de-
cree, although the husband has the
right of appeal for at least six months
afterWard.
The controversy between Coroner
Quinn and DR.. Markoe was taken under
advisement by Judge Kelly. Coroner
Quinn sues DR.. Markoe to recover the
cOroner'S fees, amounting to about $500,
which DIR. Markoe received during the
time he acted as coroner, holding the
certificate of election, until the contest
was decided in DIR. Quinn'S favor. DIR.
